What a year!

Just when it felt like there was already enough drama going on for a whole century in a tiny decade, things became worse and more confusing by the hour. A sadly too well known Russian dictator started invading Ukraine in early 2022 and as of the years end is not showing signs of retreat. 

The time to not be political has clearly come to an end and so we set out to empathize with our sisters and brothers that have lost their homes, ripped their lives apart and express our condolence to those that have lost their loved ones. There is very little in our power to help, but with this compilation we try to raise at least a little money to help those in need. 

Since we're a record label and not an NGO we decided to forward 100% of the profits to Blindspots e.V., an organisation dedicated to help distribute material donations and evacuate people from embattled cities. You can read more about their work here:

We're thankful to have so many talented artists who are willing to support this cause and hope you will enjoy this colourful spread of musical expression.

Humbly,

Drosssel

Yusuf Lemone - The Korken (AmuAmu Remix)

@paul-traeumer

Following tradition, we briefed our invited artists (musicians and painter) to create their own interpretations of the underworld according to Aztec mythology:

Tepeme Monamictlán is the second of nine levels of the underworld Mictlán, also residence of Tepeyóllotl (god of mountains, echoes and jaguar); this is the place where two mountains crash, producing enormous echoes as signs for the dead to cross to the next level.

For this occasion, we suggested the musicians to intersect the concept with a trip-hop sound, while staying true to their craft.
The results are beautiful.

Paul Traeumer - Talk Talk Head Head

Xande wrote this track after visiting the famous archaeological site of Petra in Jordania. 
He describes the place as a sheer burst of colors. Together with its historic significance, visiting the place leaves one literally speechless. 
The track revolves around the anticipation you feel from the beginning of the journey until you reach the main square. Here the magic, in front of the "Khazneh" or "The Treasury," reaches its peak and is represented in the central part of the track. 
With its driving beat, this powerful song makes you feel like riding a camel through the desert.

After inspiring two downtempo greats, victor norman and lee jones, for a remix, Harrro Triptrap's original is finally out! 
This odd, yet inspiring songs reminds us of these rare moments that can happen on big festivals: 
When all the cool kids are at the main stages, you suddenly end up on a little dancefloor, hidden somewhere in the forest.  
You hear this tune, start dancing and immediately know that you are exactly where you were supposed to be. 
Enjoy!
